This is basically just to let Coverity et al shut up. Remove an unneeded NULL check in sctp_assoc_update_retran_path(). It is safe to remove it, because in sctp_assoc_update_retran_path() we iterate over the list of transports, our own transport which is asoc->peer.retran_path included. In the iteration, we skip the list head element and transports in state SCTP_UNCONFIRMED. Such transports came from peer addresses received in INIT/INIT-ACK address parameters. They are not yet confirmed by a heartbeat and not available for data transfers. We know however that in the list of transports, even if it contains such elements, it at least contains our asoc->peer.retran_path as well, so even if next to that element, we only encounter SCTP_UNCONFIRMED transports, we are always going to fall back to asoc->peer.retran_path through sctp_trans_elect_best(), as that is for sure not SCTP_UNCONFIRMED as per fbdf501c ("sctp: Do no select unconfirmed transports for retransmissions"). Whenever we call sctp_trans_elect_best() it will give us a non-NULL element back, and therefore when we break out of the loop, we are guaranteed to have a non-NULL transport pointer, and can remove the NULL check.
